Dr. Nancy St. John has a well-kept, twenty-year-old secret.

When Nancy was a high school senior, her socialite mother and henpecked father banished her from her home in Santa Monica, California, because of her pregnancy. Nancy left her friends, her school, and her boyfriend, Skip, to live with her spinster aunt in Chicago until she gave birth to a girl. Angry and hurt, Nancy broke all ties with her past.

Heartbroken, Nancy concentrates on her work and avoids intimate relationships. She hides her feelings. Hope, the daughter Nancy gave up for adoption twenty years earlier, finds her. A bond blossoms between them but is challenged by Hope’s leukemia. Hope needs a bone marrow transplant, but she has a rare blood type. Nancy is not a match. She is determined to find Skip, Hope’s biological father, who never knew about Nancy’s pregnancy or why she disappeared so mysteriously.

My thoughts:  SWEET CHARITY is a beautifully written romance set during the time of the Vietnam War.  It is a sweet romance, with a strong faith message. Nancy struggles with the loss of her lover and her baby even years later, holding people at bay. She is shocked and dismayed when her birth daughter walks into her clinic, wanting answers and help. She is further hurt to discover secrets about Skip she never knew, but finding him might be impossible. 

I read this in spurts but I couldn't wait for each installment to find out what happened next.  Nancy and Hope are characters to love, as well as Hope's adoptive father and her fiance. 

I wanted Nancy to find Skip but then wondered what would happen if he was found alive since tangled relationship problems would need to be unraveled and sorted out. 

If you love romance, you can't miss Ms. Bassett's SWEET CHARITY.
